Antique Silver Shop

Micheal A. Mansoor a member of Navy Seals was awarded the Silver Star in May 2006 when he and another team member pulled a fellow SEAL to safety while bullets ricocheted off the ground in Ramadi, Iraq.

Then on Sept. 29, 2006, Mikey and four of his fellow soldiers were manning a rooftop structure being used as a sniper hideout. Mikey was near the doorway when a grenade thrown by an Iraqi insurgent hit him in the chest and then bounced to the floor without exploding. In a motion as natural as breathing, Mikey jumped on the grenade and shielded his comrades from the blast. ”He never took his eye off the grenade, his only movement was downward toward it,” said a lieutenant who was injured in the blast. ”He undoubtedly saved mine and the other SEALs’ lives and we owe him.” Mikey gave his life for those around him in an act of unbelievable self sacrifice.
